White House morale 'bottomed out' after aides realized Trump's address to the

nation made things worse: report

Published 1 min ago on March 15, 2020
By Tom Boggioni

According to a report from Politico, the White House had hoped that Donald Trump’s address to the nation last Wednesday night regarding the coronavirus pandemic would calm the rising panic in the U.S. and were dismayed when it made things worse and the stock market suffered a huge loss the next morning.

The report from Gabby Orr and Nancy Cook notes, “In the span of 48 hours this week, from the moment markets plunged after a confusing and stiff Oval Office address to his national emergency declaration from the Rose Garden, Trump watched his own assessment of the viral outbreak transform in extraordinary fashion, forcing him into a course correction.”

The report goes on to state that morale at the White House “bottomed out” after the speech, forcing Trump staffers to scramble to put together the president’s Rose Garden speech on Friday where he declared a national emergency — giving the markets what could prove to be a temporary boost.

“The crushing response on Thursday prompted the White House to schedule Friday’s press conference in the Rose Garden, a favorite venue of the president thanks to its natural lighting and the more free-wheeling format of a back-and-forth press conference, according to two White House officials familiar with the matter,” the report states.

The November election cannot get here soon enough.

In January 2021, Democrats need to fumigate the White House and then prosecute the hell out of every single one of the traitorous, cowardly, moronic MF45 staffers and cabinet members.

If I never see the glib 'free-wheeling' BS again, it will be too soon. Just admit the jackass (and his nonexistent press office) refuses to have a proper press briefing because he's incapable of getting through it in one piece.

How could the response be anything but disastrous?

Btw, I noticed that the WHO's guidelines to nations specifically recommended a list of critical steps to take and to NOT stop trade and international travel. Trump took none of the critical steps but tried to slam the gates with the virus rampaging inside.

Imagine seeing this fucking shitshow of a dumpster fire from the cheap seats in the rest of the country where you can't do a goddam thing about any of they dysfunction in the White House. Suck it up, buttercups, and try doing something useful for the country instead of being such useless fuck-ups.
